Heya Connely,

If by beginner you mean you have never flown at all, then I think the E-Starter might be a little much to handle right off the bat. I don't say this because I dislike the E-Starter, it is my favorite plane so far, but no plane with a front mounted motor handles crashing without taking damage almost every time. I would look for a plane with the motor mounted behind the wing and facing backwards. The HobbyZone Firebird Commander or Challenger and the T-Hawk would be good planes to start with. I am sure there are others.

The E-Starter makes a great 2nd plane, once you get a little experience.
